Submissions for the 2018 festival are now closed.

Financial models

For the festival, participating companies pay a £300 participation fee up-front, and in return get two performance slots and 100% of ticket sales for those shows. The participation fee helps cover festival expenses, promotions, and programme printing. You are of course welcome to do any of your own additional promotional activity, too.

Ticket pricing is up to you, but between £10 and £15 is pretty standard. 100% of the box office is paid to the company.

What you charge can of course influence how many tickets you sell, for better or worse, and how much you can potentially make on a show. Here we’ve worked out some examples of how a two performance run might work out for you at different ticket price bands:

Festival technical specifications

The festival will work with a single lighting rig, with some limited opportunity for recoloring or refocusing of specials. Any adjustments to the rig must be able to be done within your allocated pre-show get-in time, and restored during your get-out.
